Eddie Hearn makes prediction for potential KSI vs. Tommy Fury clash

Eddie Hearn makes prediction for potential KSI vs. Tommy Fury clashDAZN

KSI made his grand return to the world of crossover boxing on Saturday night when he beat two opponents in the same night at the first-ever Misfits and DAZN: X Series at London's O2 Arena on Saturday.

The British entertainment star stopped both Swarmz and Lucas Alcaraz Pineda in front of a sell out crowd, and began calling out a number of names including Tommy Fury. 

This immediately sparked a clamour for a potential fight between the pair with heavyweight Derek Chisora predicting a KSI win against Fury if the two were to meet

Speaking about the X Series on The DAZN Boxing Show, Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn believed that he saw improvements in KSI's style. 

"He [KSI] looked better than he did when he boxed Logan Paul the second time," Hearn said. 

"Jake Paul is fighting levels above what we saw on Saturday and I think Jake Paul beats KSI.

"But KSI looked better, although he was up against nothing. I think I’ll give him credit for looking a bit better than I thought he might."

When it came to discussing the Fury fight, Hearn claimed that while the contest may not be the best when it comes to pure boxing ability, it still has the poential to be an entertaining one. 

"It’s still a huge fight those two, and it would be competitive, because I’ve said before, and I don’t mean it disrespectfully neither of them are very good.

"They’re not seasoned or skilled fighters, that doesn’t mean it can’t be entertaining, it might be more entertaining watching those guys just unravel in front of the world."
